David Davies doused a belligerent Chinese official with a bottle of water just moments after securing silver in the 10km open water swim.

The Welshman was speaking to the press following his impressive performance at the Shunyi Rowing Park as officials hassled and harrassed the 23-year-old, trying to steer him towards the medal ceremony.

Davies, however, took offence to the man-handling he was receiving and initially turned to one overly aggressive official and said: ‘Will you shut up please!’

The officials failed to heed Davies’ request and, after more constant harrassment, he threw the contents of his water bottle at the female official before calling an end to his time with the media.
